It's definitely a skull, but it does look more like a stag or elk skull with branching horns than baphomet's traditional single branchless horns.

Edit:

Pretty sure Iruma almost flipped Sheena during their brief time together at Walter Park. There's absolutely no way that her allegiance to the Six Fingers is going to survive prolonged exposure to him as his teacher. The creepy rear end in a top hat with the grin is quite likely to stay evil, though.

Looks like a 4 horned stag to me but it's hard to tell exactly. That's also a fairly famous Celtic occult symbol.

Probably the last person they wanted to meet. I'm betting Shiida won't trigger Balam's lie detection because she actually wants to teach Iruma.

One would assume they planned for that, anyway, since Balam's bloodline ability is probably a known quantity even if most of the students seem to be ignorant of it.

The demon ranking system isn't making much sense now that we're getting further in the series.

If I remember right most students graduate as a 4 after six years. The Class having to hit 4 at the end of their first year was a big thing after all, and they are protagonists.

The 9's and 10's we know of are Delkira, Sullivan, Levi, and Beliard, and likely a few more of the thirteen crowns, like Ameri's father, might be 9's as well. But it's implied most of them are rank 8.

Kalego, Balam, and Opera being 8's is apparently a big deal and if I remember right they are the only rank 8 at the school. So most of the teachers must be 6 or 7 and the support staff 5 or 6.

This means that Ameri and soon, Iruma, will be outranking the majority of their teachers.

"Go on until you're stopped."
Yeah, they don't really say but I assume that the average Joe Demon either stays at rank 4 for their entire life or maybe hits rank 5.

It's honestly not really clear how you rank up outside of a school context, and the system seems astonishingly trustworthy given how important it is. (It's also not completely clear whether jumping ranks actually makes you stronger, or whether you gain a rank because you got stronger. Iruma seems to think it's the first but I'm not sure he's correct.)

I would assume that most demons don't even hit rank 4. Babyls is an important elite school that you have to do entry tests and/or nepotism to get into, so "most students graduate Babyls at rank 4" suggests to me that that's sort of the lower bound of the upper classes.

Iruma's Ring/Ali-san gets stronger when he ranks up, but that seems to be the exception. Whether the ranks used to have some other mening that activates the ring (Like security clearance) or if it's just Iruma achieving a personal goal for the first time in his life giving him a psychological buff is also unclear.

Since it's the casters magic in the ball, and Iruma has no magic, wouldn't that make the results those of the ring and not Iruma?

Based on what happens in the story, it is definitely reacting to the WILL of iruma vs the origin of the magic power. Iruma is taking the power and controlling it/making it his, thus it is unique to him.

It is definitely appreciated that they are showing off just how competent Balam is. Also by the looks of it Sheeda just needs one gentle push before she defects from the six fingers.

I don't assume Sheeda has pure intentions for Iruma even if she doesn't want to hurt him. I'm guessing she's the type to keep the things she fancies all to herself and Iruma is just her current fixation. No way she's a member of a notorious group like the Six Fingers and isn't a thief in mindset.

I dunno, she's come across as generally kindly and innocent in pretty much all her screentime so far. There's surely some reason she's part of a group as select, ruthless, and elite as the Six Fingers, but I doubt it'll change the fact that she's mostly a decent person.

Iruma has a way of inspiring insane devotion in demons easily. Asmodeus swore basically eternal loyalty to him after having a single match with him, and everyone else basically falls in love with him the moment they meet him.

It would've been dishonorable for Asmodeus not to swear loyalty to the demon who beat him, especially since he was the one who issued the challenge. Everything after that was pure Iruma though.
